A virtual cloud computing provider for mobile devices

Along with the explosive growth of the mobile applications and up-raising cloud computing concept, mobile cloud computing appears to be a new potential technology for mobile services. Mobile cloud computing maps cloud computing ideas on top of the mobile environment, and overcomes obstacles that deal with performance (i.e. battery life, CPU, storage, and bandwidth), environment (i.e. heterogeneity, scalability, availability) and security (i.e. reliability, privacy) discussed in mobile computing. In this position paper we are going to focus in depth on a Hadoop based framework for ad-hoc mobile cloud computing — we specifically refer to a research paper and the authors' decision to use and port Hadoop to build a Virtual Cloud Computing Provider for Mobile Devices. In the beginning, we are going to outline a short introduction and enumerate the challenges that we face implementing a framework for mobile cloud computing. We conclude this paper with a short example of other Map-Reduce based MCC (Mobile Cloud Computing) framework, which achieved better performance using its own custom implementation.
